Of all the statistics I compile when looking up teams, the one that stood out the most to me was Ilya Bryzgalov's 34 starts as a Flyers goaltender this season. The team has played just 36 games. He has started games six times in back-to-back situations, and tonight will be his seventh.

Goaltenders:

Setup:

Check out the Flyers usage chart. Max Talbot doesn't get a whole lot of help back there, but he's been hurt, so Sean Couturier, a high pick in the last NHL draft, has to play alongside Tye McGinn and Zac Rinaldo. At least one of those players has a reputation as a goon.

Up front, Giroux, Voracek, Read and Schenn are all pretty fun to watch. I'd love to see Philly give Couturier a chance to shine, but he's been buried for his first two seasons in the Flyers bottom six when he's a remarkably capable two-way centre for quite some time. Him and Mikhail Grabovski know the other's pain.
